Everybody can smoke a piece of meat. It gets really juicy and tender and smoky.

What separates one BBQ restaurant from another is the sauce.

Which one has the best sauce? That's the best BBQ.

My opinion.

The best ribs and brisket in Texas don't even have sauce.

People have been using this and taking people's money for decades. It's probably good on shoe leather. Barbecue for me is more about texture and smoke flavors.

Best bbq needs no sauce you heathen. Slow smoking for hours is hard and the main driver for tender, flavorful meat.

BBQ is not sauce, it’s cooking the meat indirect, taking your time and loving what you do. And no, everyone can’t smoke a piece of meat and make it tender and juicy. You’re smarter than this.

Not sure you should be saying sorry. This is arguably one of the more asinine takes that I have ever seen on this board.

I'm usually a fan of your work, but you're way off base here.

What stands out for me more than anything at BBQ places are the sides. They can usually all smoke ribs/brisket/pork shoulder, etc. But if you are giving me canned green beans, instant potatoes or canned baked beans to go with my 3 meats, it’s a real turn off.

Um, no.

No sauce is necessary.And actually, no teeth either.

There used to be this barbecue place in Texas on Hwy 59 south of Houston - their slogan was ‘you don’t need teeth to eat our beef’

Man, not the damn sauce!

You've got different smoke rigs, different temps, different woods, different combinations of woods, different rubs, different cuts of meat, different grades of meat, different finishing temps, different cook times.

There are a TON of variables that go into making BBQ.

Do you judge steak by who makes the best bernaise sauce?

So with this theory, it is just grilled or cooked meat right? Because you put the meat on a heat source doesn’t make it BBQ then

Even the best bbq restaurants I like a little sauce on the side but don’t want it drenched or mopped on the meat

Brisket without sauce is money, but I am good with dry or sauced ribs. I usually sauce my ribs at the end little bit on the smoker if I am smoking it.

Pork butt is getting sauce, no question, every time.

You probably put ketchup on salmon.
